Various – Sin On Saturday, Pray On Sunday – Vol. 4 – Yeah Baby

Sin On Saturday, Pray On Sunday Vol. 4 Yeah Baby, Koko Mojo Records (KM-CD-192) concept highlights a cultural juxtaposition for the Negro community during the weekend. On Saturday evening, there is a vibrant atmosphere filled with sinful indulgence--people engage in drinking, dancing, and enjoying Jump Blues music.
This lively celebration contrasts sharply with the following day, Sunday, when they seek redemption for their Saturday night activities. On this day, the community gathers in church to listen to uplifting and spirited Gospel songs, reflecting a desire for spiritual renewal after a night of revelry. The twenty eight songs on the album tell the story musically.
Ultimately, this weekend phenomenon symbolizes a rich tapestry of cultural heritage where the interplay of music and party making (Sin On Saturday), faith, and community life (Pray On Sunday) is celebrated. The twenty eight songs featured in Sin On Saturday, Pray On Sunday Vol. 4 Yeah Baby musically tell the story.
The story begins with people drinking, smoking, possibly fornicating and most importantly listening to real gone blues rockers in the Juke Joints on the Saturday evening. The compilation album music is (quasi) thematic; at the beginning of the evening the people are Calm And Collected (Guitar Gable with King Karl Cool), becoming amorous, Love Me With A Feeling (Magic Sam), their facilities weaken as they become drunk, Just Whaling (Louis Meyers and The Aces), and then they become inebriated, Baptize Me In Wine (Jalacy Hawkins), and something happened during the evening, I Smell A Rat (Willie Mae 'Big Mama' Thornton).
